Protests Erupt in Spain After Housing Measures Defeated
On October 3, 2026, fresh protests erupted in Madrid and other Spanish cities following the parliament's rejection of two government measures aimed at strengthening tenant protections. The measures were introduced after nationwide protests over the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal from her Madrid home. The defeat is a political setback for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's minority government, raising doubts about its survival until the 2027 general election.
